You might think being hard on yourself after a professional or personal faux pas will help you to not make that same mistake in the future. Oftentimes this isn't the case, though, says Judy Ho, a neuropsychologist and professor at Pepperdine University. New York Times bestselling author and a professor at The University of Houston, Brené Brown echoes the sentiment that being excessive self-scrutiny doesn't make you stronger. "The core of mental toughness is actually self-compassion," Brown said on her podcast "Unlocking Us" in 2022. "People who are mentally tough stay mentally tough because they don't slip easily into shame or self-criticism or self-loathing."

Negative self-talk, or an excessively-critical inner monologue, can keep you from reaching your goals and create a cycle of pessimism. Telling ourselves we aren't smart or productive enough to hit certain milestones can often become a "self-fulfilling prophecy," says Judy Ho, a neuropsychologist and professor at Pepperdine University. However, some amount of tough love can spur positive change. "I think that negative self-talk can be motivating if it's done in a way where it helps you to course correct," she says.

Negative self-talk, or the experience of your inner monologue being hyper-critical, can erode your confidence. And, usually, whatever you're worried about doesn't actually come to pass, says Judy Ho, a neuropsychologist and professor at Pepperdine University. In her recent TED Talk, Ho describes how negative self-talk can undermine your goals. "Sometimes we think that negative self-talk helps us to be motivated," Ho told CNBC Make It. To defeat the cycle of negative self-talk, you have to be mindful of what triggers your pessimism and how to distance yourself from anxiety-driven thoughts.

Instead of rushing to recover from a tough situation, give yourself time to feel your emotions, psychologist Cortney Warren wrote for CNBC Make It last year.

I like to call them "Connected Explorers." I've found in my research and professional experience that "Connected Explorers" tend to embody four phrases. They regularly tell themselves:'I believe in and like myself'The securely attached tend to have a strong sense of self, and higher self-esteem, than those who are insecurely attached. They're more likely to have consistently positive feelings about themselves, their abilities, and their perception of acceptance by others. Connected Explorers understand where they end and others begin, and in the case of more intimate or romantic relationships, where the "we" begins, without becoming subsumed.

In the beginning, Jarrah Al-Buainain wasn’t interested in renovating. When his work as a lawyer brought him to New York from Berkeley, Calif., in 2019, he just wanted to enjoy all that the city had to offer. “I wanted something that was more or less turnkey, and just done,” said Mr. Al-Buainain, 35. At the same time, he added, “I didn’t want a glass box or a very modern building — I wanted character.”Finding those two qualities in the same place turned out to be more difficult than he anticipated. So when he visited a two-bedroom co-op in an 1839 building in the West Village, his desire for character won out.
